Losing our home. Nowhere to live. How you have helped me.

[@stevenwest000]

Thanks - first time I’ve ever seen you. Just popped up as a recommendation but thought you deserved a super thanks! I just get the feeling you are decent people.

[@CharlieLamdin]

Thank you so much, that’s really kind!

[@woofdog1525]

Best of luck to you & your family Charlie..you’re a good man. I privately messaged you on Twitter beginning of the year regarding a flat purchase and you very kindly responded with such a helpful & thoughtful reply.Taking the time to reply meant so much. I love watching your channel & will continue to do so ✌🏾✌🏾

[@maryjones6618]

Wishing you & your family all the best Charlie .

[@CharlieLamdin]

Same to you!

I flew in the cockpit of a British airways 737 back before the September 11 thing. I got chatting to the flight attendants and said I'd never been on the flight deck of a plane! They asked and the crew invited me in. It was fantastic they folded the 3rd seat out for me, I sat with the flight crew for more or less the whole flight and even the landing at Lyon Airport. It was like you say one of those money can't buy moments.

[@andrewashmore8000]

It's not easy being a ambitious man. Lots of plates to juggle. Thanks for including us on your mission .

[@missjane782]

Thank you for such an honest share. It’s a shame about the trolls. We seem to have a real issue in our society around being unable to disagree respectfully with one another, something I don’t think was an issue prior to social media. I certainly appreciate the work you do. I hope in time this move works out better for your family and this experience will help energise your life’s work. Take care. X

[@davidcoleman8127]

Charlie you are a superstar thank you for all your amazing work on KZbin

[@noonrich336]

Hi Charlie 👋 in my life what i have learnt most of all, "If it Dont Fit Dont Force the Situation " it will work out either way, it will teach us a lesson or knowledge and wisdom will pay off. Have a great day and good luck with your Dreams.

[@alzdeane]

Charlie, I've followed the channel from the beginning. Sorry to hear about the house situation, but as you say, probably a blessing in disguise. Good luck with your next house, and Dusty, hopefully both are resolved soon. Once the dust has settled you'll look back and chuckle at this stage of life. Once day our paths will cross and I'll buy you a beer! Hello to Anne-Marie and the children 🙌

[@CharlieLamdin]

I look forward to that beer! Thanks 🙏🏻

[@evepatchett8481]

This video just came up on my timeline this morning. I was not aware of the fact that you have three channels; I only followed you on ‘Moving home with Charlie’. Anyway, I’ve caught up now! Thank you for this honest and heartfelt sharing of what is going on for you and your family. Gosh, how stressful! My thoughts are to you, firstly, you don’t have to be perfect and secondly, adopt a flexible approach as it’s the only way to get through this often mad and chaotic life. Take small chunks of time out in your day to meditate to refresh your soul. Prayer also helps, if you have faith. You have a lovely family, and beautiful children, so really you are a very blessed man. As for the nasty people out there, well, how sad that their lives are full of negativity and hatred. They are already being punished by just being who they are. Please remember that you are a very privileged man, and consider what you do for others who are not so fortunate. We can all get tied up in what we want, and shut out the needs of others who are far less fortunate. I look forward to seeing your progress and adventures. Take care.

[@davewright9313]

Just seen this charlie, I always said you'd get a lot of subs .

[@zyxwvu]

You are an engaging narrator; thank you for sharing a bit about your life's recent curveballs. As someone who needs to move for his own mental peace of mind, I find it comforting that you were prepared to even borrow to buy in this current market. As you say on your other channel, if you need to move, you need to move, and I need to live closer to the sea again. Respect and thank you.

[@CharlieLamdin]

Thanks and good luck!

[@jennyredpath9361]

Keep going Charlie it’s so refreshing listening to someone with such integrity. Good luck with everything.

[@CharlieLamdin]

Thank you! Will do!

[@timothydunn920]

Hang in there Charlie. Wishing you all the very best. This too shall pass.

[@CharlieLamdin]

Thank you!

[@tomw34]

Ah man, sorry to hear about the house situation, that sounds like a totally crazy situation! I have followed you for over a year and watched loads of your videos and livestreams, so grateful for the insight and information. I'm sure it will work out well for you - you make your own luck! It would be quite a nice series opportunity (maybe?) to document your new purchase / timeline etc? As a FTB'er myself I'd be very interested in your journey, how you negotiate, speak to agents, the process etc. Though to be fair, sounds like you have enough on your plate! All the best!

[@Tommy2stroke]

Found a cracking channel here Charlie wishing you & the family all the best.

[@FinnMcCool1916]

Sorry to hear about your housing situation, some things just aren't meant to be. Your channel etc has been an immense help to me. We've been renting from landlord for 12 yrs, he never maintained the house, then decided to sell. I declined his offer after finding your channel last November (Sooo happy I did) When the boiler broke 2 months ago he decided to use the no hot water situ to push us out, so no working shower, no immersion heater and broken boiler, have used large pot to boil water. Unfortunately the wife took ill during covid, been in hospital few months now while I've been running a business and raising two kids, while trying to find a home. The stress is something I've never experienced, even though I lived through some horror times during the troubles. I have to say after having watched this video, I don't feel quite so alone in all of this mess. So keep on, keeping on.

[@CharlieLamdin]

Wow what an ordeal! I hope you weren’t paying full rent when you had no hot water…!

[@patrickshea-simonds5827]

I returned to flying 18 months ago after 13 years away from flying - your flying channel has been a real positive in my journey back to flying. Your candid approach and style is a real bonus, long may it continue!

[@CharlieLamdin]

Welcome back to flying! Delighted if my chaotic flying helps in any way!!

[@pedrobudders4454]

Charlie, well I didn’t expect that 😢you have a real talent for KZbin production, thank you for the all great content you have produced to date and please, keep going forward. I had noticed this KZbin burn out on the bush craft channels I also follow, so you are not alone. Thank you.

[@CharlieLamdin]

I appreciate that!

[@emac1968]

Thanks for all your hard work and valuable advice, along with your analytic and vastly entertaining friend Alex. Good luck and best wishes.

[@CharlieLamdin]

My pleasure!

[@Plainburst]

Charlie, it’s through your advice via your other channel (to price our property more aggressively, through agents who I had to convince) that I have managed to get an offer above asking price on our property as a result of engineering a bidding war. My wife and I are desperate to upsize due to the arrival of our first child. Fingers crossed we get across the line with our ongoing purchase. Point is, your help has given us hope, so with that I want to express my gratitude 🙏

[@CharlieLamdin]

That’s fantastic news I’m so pleased if I’ve helped in anyway way 🚀 best of luck with your upsizing and well done for hearing me. It does work!

[@glennwatson]

I think it should be about the kids and yourself then worrying about us in some ways. Hopefully being away from the real life trolls will make you guys happy.

[@ranjanthomas5982]

Good luck Charlie, I’ve enjoyed the videos and I hope you find great success with bestagent

[@tomhandle]

Hey buddy, just watched this, I am in London, if you are in London or Canary Wharf and want to grab a coffee or a beer give a shout, appreciate your channel and knowledge.

[@Vintaronica]

Wow Charlie! I’m an avid simmer on xplane, the king air rules !

[@ericohara2582]

Charlie, I do wish you the very best. I can relate a little with similar experiences 7 or 8 years ago and one thing you will be doing is helping others by being so honest. Others will gain strength from knowing they are not the only ones. All of those balls being juggled are bound to affect your way of thinking and your wellbeing, you and your family are showing great resilience on so many fronts. Those that support you are invaluable and you are right the trolls in YT and real life can tip the balance disproportionately. It is right to see your dreams through even though a little delayed sometimes.. Very good luck to you and thank you for posting..

[@CharlieLamdin]

Thanks, that's a wonderful comment

[@SidewaysCars]

You've got this Charlie! Keep up the flying, keep up the work and youtube. And best of all, keep the fam happy!

[@CharlieLamdin]

Thank you! Will do!

[@geirarnesen6531]

❤ Your channel deserves millions of subscribers and yet you were so happy and appreciative to reach 10K not too long ago. It seems to gain speed which is fully deserved 👏. Good luck forward with continuously speaking the truth and keeping it light and humorous with just the right amount of banter and swearing mixed with FACTS and common sense. You're a great guy 👌PS: Banks can be ruthless idiots (just ask Nigel:-)

Charlie - thanks for producing a fantastic channel with great information about whats really happening in the housing market - I wish you every success with things and hope more people get to hear about your great work. Sorry to hear about your housing troubles....the area looks great other than the horrible person who lives next door and deserves karma! You will look back on this as a blip in time to come when you have achieved the success you definitely deserve. All the best. Nick

Thank you Nick, much appreciated.

Well done for being so honest and sharing your story... I'm a software dev/architect who writes trading systems, so if you ever need a free chat to bash around any technical ideas that are stumping you with best agent, feel free to drop me a line as I've enjoyed your content for free, so would be nice to give back. Genuinely, no strings as I like talking about my field for fun!!

[@CharlieLamdin]

Wow. V generous offer thank you! Can you message me on LinkedIn?

[@79bull]

Wow, I did not expect this insight this morning. I follow you on MHWC. I sold everything I owned in 2021 to do what I’m doing so can relate, although different circumstances. My experience so far when things haven’t quite gone to plan is that everything has happened for the right reasons. Even though many days it’s really not seemed like it. So I’m sure all will become clear for you. I wish you every success with everything. I admire your courage and determination. Onwards and further upwards ☺️✨

[@CharlieLamdin]

Absolutely!

[@stevo728822]

Good to see you sober for once:)

[@HairHelmet]

Sounds like a blessing in disguise having no choice but find a more peaceful dwelling.

[@CharlieLamdin]

Absolutely right. A real silver lining.

[@rickheath2274]

Very honest and heartfelt video Charlie. Tbh, most people go through problems, but dealing with one thing at a time is fairly easy. Dealing with all of yours simultaneously I'm surprised you haven't had a meltdown. I sold my plane 3 years ago whilst Covid pandemic was in full swing, I've never really gotten over it. Life gives you lemons, swap them for grapes and make some wine 🍷😋 Hope things improve, take it easy and don't let them get under your skin. Cheers

[@CharlieLamdin]

Thanks Rick. 👍🏻

If you haven't already read it, The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday is worth the time. Good luck with your current obstacle and stay positive!

[@JodelFlyer]

I believe that sometimes things happen for a reason and tend to work out in the end. You know I moved recently (and used Best Agent) because of a number of reasons. However, it seems to have all worked out and in many ways appears to have been a ‘meant to be’ thing. Good luck with everything and I really liked that clip of you with the three children. Lovely stuff!

[@CharlieLamdin]

Thanks Tim. I’m sincerely hoping I’ll get up to Nayland in the 182 before this summer is over if I can time it right to meet you, or else pop over to Sandown!

[@a261943]

Hi Charlie, Wife and I sold in December and now in rented looking for new home. We love your Moving channel and dashed over here to find out what is happening. Sorry to hear about your house purchase woes but sounds like you dodged a bullet. May I suggest this can be a source of material for your Moving channel? The process from having an offer accepted to moving in is complex and can be quite daunting for people, especially FTB. For example, a lot of FTB can think they can sit back and let it happen to them. We were stung in a similar way to you in 1998, by paying for a full structural via our mortgage provider they used it against us to withhold money and put deadlines on remediation work. Since then our advice has been to only do the home buyer via mortgage co (I timed the surveyor who did the house we sold, 15mins from pulling up to driving away) and then do a full structural independently. The trolls are dicks and should ignored, hard to do I know. Also try not to put pressure on yourselves to find a new home, moving is stressful enough. Perhaps rent? It’s a falling market don’t you know :-)

[@CharlieLamdin]

Good call. I did actually share the story of the situation on my moving channel last night.

[@a261943]

@@CharlieLamdin thanks. Yes, we came into the live stream a little too late last night. Looking forward to listening to the start later today

Wow you're going through a lot Charlie. A lot of good and a lot of bad, I sincerely hope things work out well for you and your family, you're a great bloke, and I've enjoyed watching your videos some some time now. What a horrible neighbour, but a beautiful location also, I hope you find a great house with non-deranged neighbours soon.

Balance is everything

[@SycAamore]

Stay the course, Charlie! You are helping many, including myself! Owing a property here in the UK is such brainwashing. Do you think my neighbor, the taxi driver, who owns a £500K house, and will pay the debt till he moves, is more happy or "successful" than you are? Wasted lives, missed opportunities, and this all for what? To pay off a damp shoebox? The sacrifices that people make in this country to own their shitty houses...I literally know people who don't have teeth in their mouths because they just can't afford the dentist. Why? Well, because they have their mortgage payments... Anyway, enough with the rant. You are doing a great job, I really hope your business takes off and you find your perfect home, though I suspect it won't be in this country. And I don't blame you knowing what other better choices you have...

[@stephengreen2626]

Some people just go to the crossroads and sell their soul to the devil to become a better guitar player. What you have done is much braver. It has and will take away time and privacy and will invite people to tell you where you are going wrong, some of which will be insightful and some of which will turn you the whole Elon Musk. “Everyone” has an opinion and listening to nobody or everybody is damaging. My opinion. Don’t go down the path of naming and shaming those that have wronged you. It takes all of the energy you need for your vision. Compromise and don’t try to be perfect unless you want to lose everything. The great philosopher, meatloaf, says two out of three ain’t bad. You’ve managed 4 out of 3 but it’s not sustainable.

[@CharlieLamdin]

Wise words! Thanks Stephen
